I dont like the blue ones myself, I tend to stay in the 5500-6000k color temp range for white with maybe a hint of blue if any

How much of a blue tint does it give?

Ok just to let you know those lights are not worth the money. All the light would be blue, plus it lowers visibility. If you are trying to got the xenon look, just get xenon's. They are only about $50 plus like $10 or less to ship them. That page say that they are H.I.D. but they are just halogens with a blue tint on the outside You will get the xenon look and performance. Just search "HID Kit" on ebay.

I just got the yellow ones today. They appear pretty nice then again it is daytime. I made a thread about them on the second page. If you want a blue/white bulb though, search for their "extreme white" bulb...dont go for the blue ones unless you're trying to do some color matching.

A decent xenon kit will run between $250-450 bucks. Then if you want to get really good bulbs..they are about $125 each so I dont know where you can get em for $50.
